TROLL LAKE CABIN SNOWSHOEING

Our tents are all set up on troll lake after a long day!

The beautiful view just before the cabin. The city seems so close!

One of our many stops during our hike up !

One of the greatest things is taking off your pack after a long trip.

Funny how fours later into our voyage and we can still get a glimpse of the city.

Attempting to balance on this small path was difficult at some points!

Trekking in the trees!

When sleeping on snow, it’s always nice to keep warm

Mount Robson (5 days)Sometimes, there are moments in life that you just can’t explain..

First time the outdoor rec group was able to reach this spot on the way to the caves in four years. Couldn’t ask for a more amazing view!

We stayed alive; so celebrate Before our journey

into the water

Our wonderful little group Conquering the waves!

My roomates

We had Dave candies for days

Definitely worth getting a cold -jumping in glacial water

Staying dry and happy

Some of the best moments were definitely on the bus rides to and from our journey….

Although I couldn’t ask for better roommates, our tent parties we hosted were always “intents”.

Im sure there are to many simon selfies to count..

Seeing the waterfalls gave us motivation to move faster…But trekking across slowed us down

Everyone enjoyed stopping for a bite to eat.

Looking at the falls, hoping for a shower

Can you move mountains?

Only BC can have views like this.

Surviving our hike to the cave and pretty proud of ourselves.
